The statement provokes controversy - and the storm: Less than 24 hours to open the polls in the Likud-led primaries, MK Gideon Sa'ar responded Wednesday to the statement of Minister Miri Regev - from the Netanyahu camp: "The voters cannot win."

Regev made reference to the Bukharan origin of Sa'ar, who tweeted today on Twitter, saying: "I am a proud Bukhari!" The Labor Party also condemned Regev's statement: "A stain on the Likud party that has become detached and racist, Netanyahu's Likud and Regev do not count human beings. This is a stain of shame on the Likud. Netanyahu's government announces that it has suspended it from all its functions. "

Regev said this yesterday at a support conference for Prime Minister Netanyahu in Or Yehuda. "Gideon Sa'ar suggested arrogantly to appoint Netanyahu as president. With all due respect to Sa'ar, who are you?" Said Regev.
